OK…so on Wednesday I went to Wake Forest University for a information session a college tour…and I could not be happier about it! It is one of the most amazing schools I have ever seen…it brings a tear to my eye . I [love] the campus, the environment, and the academics overall. It’s like my  perfect school .

Anyways, I’m working on my applications, and I knew it would be difficult but… i dunno, its like almost stressing me out… I guess I’m second guessing myself, but when I stop hyperventilating then I realize I’ll be fine and that the odds are in my favor. 

My mother’s birthday is next weekend and my dad is taking her to Myrtle Beach. It sounds fun, but my  brother and I have to either stay home by ourselves or stay at my sister’s house. With choices like that, it might be one of those weekends…

I think I’ll try to make some icons soon…but this weekend I’ll be working on my essays, so I don’t think it’ll be this weekend.

P.S. I finally got my editor buttons to work !

tough times.

It’s been a hard couple of weeks for me …first off, I’ve been incredibly busy with school, so much so that I have to get on my computer at school when I have free time (which is what I’m doing now). Also, last week, a respected and loved person at my school died, and I’ve had a hard time dealing with it…and on top of that, my mother wouldn’t let me go to the funeral, because it was a school day. I know I haven’t really been paying alot of attention to the blog…
For the last week and a half my blog has been offline because my dad forgot to pay the bill and he had to change some billing information, so I’m sorry about that. It’s not really his fault, he’s just been so busy lately. It’s been hard at home too…not the fam, just life.
Life is hard .

Hi lovelies…

Hey just a quick post. I’m soooo sorry I waited so long to post, but it’s been a busy week, and a sad one. I have a rally to participate in today, so I’ll write about what’s happened in the week when I come back later this evening.

And by the way, something’s wrong with the buttons on my write panel in Wordpress , so I’ll be trying to fix that too, and just so you know, things may get a little wonky…but I’ll try to fix it quickly.

Later, lovelies!

straightening nightmare

I so hate my hair . I mean if I could get my hair transplanted I totally would. I got a relaxer and it still wouldn’t get straight. A chemical straightener couldn’t get my hair straight!!!!! I’m so fed up with it! It just means I have to get out that stupid flat iron and straighten it that way, which won’t last longer than a day. Uggggghhhhh .

I did finish those icons.

Please read the terms on the site info page before you use them, and comment if you do!

On a different note, tomorrow is my brother’s birthday, so I may or may not update, depending on what we do. And I may go to a baseball game with Barbara and Rita next week, so look for an update on that.

Talk to ya later, lovelies!

This is just a quick post. I’m busy making icons (I had a magical spark of inspiration ) so expect a really big update tomorrow. And if you noticed things changing around including the sidebars and icons, that’s because I’ve been working on it all day. Sorry if it was at all annoying .

School Jitters

Forgive me; this is a long post.

School down here in NC starts the 26th. I’m a little nervous . I’ve been in a different school 3 of the last 4 years, and because I spent my 10th and 11th grade years in the same school, switching schools now (in my senior year) means new friends, new environment, new…everything . Not that I’m ungrateful; the school I’m switching from was horrible. But I will really miss my friends. They keep telling me its gonna be ok, we’ll see each other anyway, we’ll keep in touch, but I know that it will be incredibly hard for any of use to really live up to that promise. We take advanced classes, have extra-curricular activities, and have senior year stuff to deal with.

As if that isn’t enough, last year I failed AP English 11 . If you knew me, you would know that that is totally out of character for me. I have been a A/B student all my life…but last year set me up for my first (and definitely LAST) failure. I was in the hospital for a while and out of school for about 2 weeks (thats a story to be told later). The school foolishly messed up my attendence completely, and acoording to their rules, if you miss enough days, you can fail the class. And I did . But it was the only class I failed, and I got good grades in all the rest. I even passed the AP English test, and that means I can get college credit for a class I didn’t even pass. So this year I have to take english 11 & 12 .

I hate to think that the first day of school I will be completely alone and I won’t know anybody . I hate that feeling so much. The environment is radically different that what I’m used to…the last school was more urban; this school is in the county, where there are alot of farms and trees. I’ve only been in the school once, but open house is the 24th and I’ll have a chance to meet all my teachers and find all my classes then.

Anyways, I’m sorry I haven’t posted in a couple days. I’ve been busy getting the sidebars and pages up to par. I’m picky about appearence.

I’ve got a couple icons that I made yesterday. The credit for various brushes and the like on, of course, the credits page.

I abandoned the idea of putting borders around them… I like them better without the border. The first is from She’s The Man the second is of Haley from Paramore.

Today some people are in our hose renovating the master bathroom…the sound is incredibly irritating. I’m gonna need some Motrin by the end of this .

just one of those days!

My day started with a doorbell. A doorbell that inconveniently rang at 8:13 am. Some of you may think that this isn’t early at all, but considering the fact that I usually stay asleep until 11am on Saturdays (when I can), it is really annoying . My mom was sleeping too, but she got up and answered the door. It was a lady that had been walking toward the bus stop and couldn’t get there because of two neighborhood dogs that were barking at/chasing her. I wasn’t surprised by this just because we have so many dogs in our neighborhood, and they always seem to escape from their pins. My mom didn’t know who they belonged to so she told the lady that she should go next door and ask our neighbors for help, because they had a dog. So one our neighbors (weilding a broomstick) walked the lady to the bus stop, while the dogs continued their uber  super completely annoying barking…later we found out that the people who owned the dogs weren’t home, and the dogs had escaped through their fence. Eventually some people from the neighborhood got together and put the dogs back where they belonged . That just happens too often around here…

Well I went on to enjoy my day. I made a banner for the site, spent some time with my brother (who is about to turn 16), and had a hearty meal of beef stew and rice while watching Hitch ( ). I also installed some more plugins, and I’m gonna activate/configure them tomorrow after church.

Which, by the way, will be more special than normal, because we’re having brunch . That means I can pig out with people looking at me funny lol.

I’ll upload the banner for the site tomorrow, edit the about page, add some more pages, and maybe even take a break !

how productive.

After just about 12 hours or tirelessly working on this blog today, I finally got something slightly meaningful out of it - the credits page. Which, if you look carefully, is posted just minutes before this post . I had to completely update wordpress. I didn’t want to at first, because I spent so long working on the layout…trust me, its heartbreaking . But I was noticing that when I went to post that the little editor buttons were gone, so searched the wordpress support forums for help, to no avail. I had to update [omg] . Anyway, when I went to the wordpress website, they had this long scary looking page talking about how you absolutely had to backup the user files and database…it was very discouraging. I thought for sure I was going to be spending another 3 days on a new layout and stuff. But when I scrolled to the top of the page, I saw a link for an Automatic Updater, and let me tell you, it was the best sight I’ve seen all day. So here I am typing on my nice shiny WYSIWYG editor .

Obviously, I’ve been in my room all day. My mom came in my room earlier and asked, “Are you alive in here?” I’ve been listening to iTunes and typing away, though I did stop to play my guitar ( ) and eat dinner.

I’ll be pulling another all day blog editing/updating session tomorrow…I think I’m obsessed.
